How it works

The first week,
before the first dollar.

Whether you posted a job or told us about the work, it starts the same way: a week of real work, in your brand, before any call. A named specialist in the job answers for the quality, and nothing goes out in your name until you say so.

Day 0The job

It starts with the job you need done.

Your job posting already says what you need, so it is the brief. No posting yet? Tell us about the work in a few sentences, and we write back to say we have it.

Week oneBefore any call

We do the first week.

The real work, in your brand, built from what you already publish. You keep doing the work you love. We do the job you posted.

The emailWhen it is done

The work arrives by email.

The first week comes to your inbox, with one line on what was made and a link to a private page made for you. Reply with any question and the answer comes back in the same thread.

A woman in a floury linen apron stands by a window in a small bakery, looking at a phone in one hand and holding a mug in the other, beside wooden racks of loaves, with a floured wooden bench, a piece of dough under a bench scraper, a proofing basket, a stand mixer and wooden peels in the dim room to the left.

Your pageWhenever you like

You see the work, then decide.

Every piece says why it was made that way and what it was based on. Ask for changes; nothing goes out in your name. The offer is on the same page, in plain words.

Two women in a hair salon stand close together looking at a phone one of them holds, while the other, in a brown apron with combs in the pocket, leans in and points at its screen, with salon chairs, product shelves and hanging dark towels behind them.

The call30 minutes

You meet the person who answers for it.

To go ahead, pick a time for a short call and add a card. Nothing is charged. A named specialist with experience in the job sets it up with you, and Ally, who did your first week, keeps the notes, so you only explain things once.

Rather talk first? Book the call without a card, and add one when you want to start.

A woman with glasses pushed up into her dark hair leans back in an office chair, smiling with her hand at her chin as she looks at a laptop on a wooden desk covered with papers, a mug, a phone and a pen pot, with binders on shelves and a lit desk lamp behind her.

Day 8If you keep going

Your first charge comes on day 8.

As the standard rule, 30% of the salary in your posting, a month. Every job has a monthly minimum, written in your proposal before you decide. Month to month from there; stop with one note and nothing more is charged.

A project with an end date is priced as one total instead, billed as you accept each deliverable.

Every job starts with a week of real work.

Whatever the job, the first week looks like the job itself: in your brand, from what you already have.

  • Asks every time

    Anything that costs money.

Good questions

A little clarity. In plain words.

What do I need to give you?

To start, nothing: the first week is built from what is already public about your business. If you go ahead, you invite the job into the accounts it needs, the way you would a new colleague, and we agree the hours, what needs your yes and how you want to be kept informed.

How long until the job is running?

The first week of work is on your page before we talk. If you go ahead, your free week starts with a short call with your specialist, and the job works in your own channels as soon as you connect the accounts it needs, usually that same day.

Rather talk first?

Book the call without a card. Ask anything about the work or the job, and add a card when you want to start.

What if the work isn’t right?

Tell us what needs changing. Your specialist reviews the issue and guides the correction. You keep control of what goes out in your name.

Can I stop it?

Yes, at any moment, in one message: stop this piece, stop this kind of thing, or stop the job. Stopping the job takes one note, and nothing more is charged. There is no contract term and no notice period.

Stop any day with one note. Your accounts and your work stay yours.

There is no contract term. The job runs month to month, and the first week is done before you decide anything.
